Jack Grealish Returns to Everton’s Dream Transfer Window
jack grealish is back at the center of Everton’s transfer talk. The club are being linked with a move for the England international during an open window that could reshape David Moyes’s squad. Grealish stayed at Finch Farm while he continued rehabilitation after a serious foot injury, and he has one year left on his Manchester City contract.
Grealish and Moyes
What, then, would constitute a dream transfer window for Everton? Moyes asked that question as the club weighed a possible deal for Grealish, with a loan among the options. The forward scored Everton’s dramatic winner against Crystal Palace and later blew kisses to the South Stand, a moment that has helped keep his name attached to the club’s plans.
Everton ended last season 13th after a run of seven games without a win. They also slipped out of the European places after defeats at home to Sunderland and away to Tottenham Hotspur, which leaves this window carrying more weight than a routine refresh.
Everton Need a Right-Back
The Grealish discussion sits alongside a longer list of squad jobs. Everton must sign a new right-back, and Nathan Patterson seems certain to leave. Seamus Coleman has already said he will not remain at the club as a player next season, which leaves the position exposed before the new campaign starts.
That search has already pointed them toward Raoul Bellanova, Guela Doue and Aaron Wan-Bissaka. Vitalii Mykolenko has signed a new three-year contract, so the attention on the back line is focused elsewhere while Everton work through the market.
Hackney Deal Slows
Midfield is not straightforward either. Middlesbrough’s asking price for Hayden Hackney has complicated Everton’s hopes of a swift deal, even though he is the Championship Player of the Year. If Hackney arrived and Idrissa Gueye stayed in contract negotiations, Moyes could have eight options in central midfield.
There is movement in that part of the squad too. Carlos Alcaraz has been linked with River Plate, and Tim Iroegbunam is attracting interest from Ipswich Town. Everton can add names, but the window is already showing how much turnover the manager may need to absorb before the season begins.
The shape of the summer is clear enough: Everton want a high-profile addition in Grealish, but they also need a right-back and a cleaner path through midfield business. That makes the next move less about one headline signing than about whether the club can turn several separate needs into a workable squad before the window closes on 11pm on Tuesday, September 1.
